IPhone 3G used's review (Yoga's history, branches, and therapeutic uses) 『This excellent documentary, aimed especially at Western practitioners of hatha yoga, explores the origins and development of yoga, the branches of yoga, the transmission of yoga to the West, and the uses of yoga for health and healing. The film includes commentary by an impressive array of yoga teachers, scholars, MDs, and others (including B. K. S. Iyengar, Rodney Yee, Georg Feuerstein, and Jon Kabat-Zinn) and historical footage of some important twentieth-century teachers (including Krishnamacharya and Indra Devi).
The film is divided into five parts on two discs. Disc One (142 min.) opens with a segment on the contemporary practice of yoga in the West (11 min.).
Part 1, "ORIGINS OF YOGA" (23 min.), covers the Indus Valley civilization, the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Bhagavadgita, and the Yoga sutras. (I've used this part and the beginning of part 2 in teaching Hinduism to undergraduates.)
Part 2, "BRANCHES OF YOGA" (46 min.), begins with good explanations of bhakti yoga, karma yoga, jnana yoga, and raja (ashtanga) yoga. Then there's a discussion of yogic views of the human body/mind that isn't clearly tied in with what precedes or follows it, followed by a brief and unilluminating discussion of tantra and a rather abstract discussion of kundalini yoga. Part 2 closes with a good, detailed exploration of hatha yoga.
Part 3, "YOGA'S PASSAGE FROM EAST TO WEST" (16 min.), covers the Asiatic Society, the Transcendentalists, the 1893 World's Parliament of Religions in Chicago, and Swami Vivekananda.
Part 4, "MODERN YOGA" (46 min.), profiles five teachers who were instrumental in reviving and shaping hatha yoga in the twentieth century and introducing it to the West: Krishnamacharya, Indra Devi, Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois, and Desikachar. (I think parts 3 and 4 will mainly be of interest to yoga devotees who've already heard of some of these teachers and to scholars of contemporary Hinduism or Asian religions in the West.)
Part 5, "YOGA AS THERAPY" (56 min.), is basically a separate film. (It's the only part on the second disc, and it has its own opening credits.) It explores yoga's uses for physical and mental health and healing and the integration of yoga with Western medicine.』 『This 2-DVD set is a breathtaking journey of sight and sound that illuminates the essence of yoga as its creators understood it thousands of years ago.Harnessing the colorful commentary of the most prominent yoga scholars, teachers, and medical experts, Yoga Unveiled reveals how yoga began, tells the story of its passage to the West, describes its numerous branches, recounts the fascinating biographies of the foremost yoga masters, and explores yoga's astonishing medical potential.Stunning cinematography, ornate visual displays, and stirring music create a truly enchanting viewing experience. The great devotees of yoga grace the screen with their profound wisdom and delightful manner.Yoga Unveiled is a unique look at the oldest spiritual practice in the world. The set features contributions from BKS Iyengar, Georg Feuerstein, Patabhi Jois, Indra Devi, TKV Desikachar, Patricia Walden, Rodney Yee, Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Jon Kabat-Zinn and other luminaries as they join together to create an unforgettable yogic journey.』

IPhone 3G used's review (what you see is not what you get) 『The items size is not the size that is advertised, it is smaller.....and there are some lumps. I gave it to my wife as a gift and she is not willing to be very critical....Pete』 『This is one of the nicest futon style yoga mats you'll ever see. It's organic, extremely well made, is a full 3 feet wide, and is extremely soft and comfortable. The mat has a removable cover that is made from 100% organic cotton. The mat is filled with a generous 3" of plush batting that is 80% organic and 20% chemical free cotton (this blend is used to create a smoother internal batting lining). The mat has attached ties for easy roll-up and storage. Overall size is 70" long by 36" wide by 3" thick. As Yoga is, after all, about satya (truthfulness), we have received feedback from customers that due to compression from packaging and shipping, the thickness of this product is more accurately described as being between 2 and 3 inches.

IPhone 3G used's review (Excellent yoga mat!) 『This is quite a wonderful mat. I needed a mat that had a very strong grip on it and I chose this mat for that reason. My hands and feet tend to sweat during practice and I don't move at all on this mat. Even in down dog, I am SO much more comfortable and can concentrate on my breath much easier without my hands continually slipping. I have the sedona red, and I think it is beautiful.
Pros: Durable, Eco-friendly, very non-slip, beautiful colors, comfortable, for every mat sold they plant a tree.
Cons: Heavy- but this doesn't particularly bother me. Must step off to the side to do certain balancing poses like Tree because the cushion makes it difficult to balance.
Overall, the cons don't bother me because I have not yet found a mat that works better for me than this one. I highly recommend this yoga mat.』 『These are super thick newly designed Jade Harmony Mats. We love these because of a the extra cushioning and the stickyness of the surface. It is different as mats go, and well worth the extra cost for this "Cadillac" of yoga mats. This fabulous yoga mat is made of is made of open cell, natural rubber. It is highly durable and has excellent traction even when wet from your perspiration with great performance. Its natural rubber provides superior cushioning and resilience. . The mat has a strong mesh on the inside so it It wont tear or buckle. This mat is 5/16" which is a the thickest it comes in. Length is 68".
Natural rubber is a renewable resource tapped from rubber trees and contains no ozone depleting substances perfect for yoga practitioners concerned about the environment. No PVC in this mat. Available in three great colors-Tibetan Orange, Olive Green, and Midnight Blue.』
IPhone 3G used's review (cork yoga blocks) 『4 Inch Solid Cork Yoga Block with Beveled Edges (4" x 6" x 9") I like these blocks because they are very solid, light weight, and have a nice 'feel' to them. They hold your hands in place, which is nice. Also, the price is great. The only thing I don't like about them is that they are a little too large for me. Just slightly smaller would have worked better. However, overall I am very happy with this purchase.』 『Our cork blocks are made from 100% natural cork, a completely ECO-friendly material. Each block is sturdy and solid, with beveled edges for added comfort. The surfaces are smooth cork, which has a natural texture that provides extra traction. Each block is 4" x 6" x 9" (and is also available in 3" thickness as well).

IPhone 3G used's review (It's about time!!!) 『I will be honest, I haven't seen this dvd yet... but I bought it and I'm waiting for it! I just wanted to say, It's about TIME we have a yoga dvd designed for surfers! I've been a yoga teacher in Southern Cali for almost 10 years now and have had SO many surfers come in complaining of shoulder and back issues due to surfing. I always show them great postures and modifications for this during practice, so I can't wait to have a dvd to recommend to them... I am so excited there's a dvd out there like this! I look forward to watching it and giving you feedback. I also suggest TAMARA'S YOGA FUSION』 『The DVD has three segments, each about 20 minutes long. The first is all about the abs and back, with poses that are really challenging but also accessible. (Peggy reminds us to breathe and focus and we can accomplish anything!) The second is all about lower body strength, along with balance poses. The third is about upper body strength along with more arm balances. I'm motivated to keep doing this DVD until I get good at it -- there's always more to explore, never boring. And the best thing -- not a bunch of sun salutations, just unique variations on different poses. I felt fantastic after doing it.』 fetish『 Gaiam Mat Sling 』

Gaiam
IPhone 3G used's review (Just what I need) 『I picked this sling because I don't take yoga classes and only need a way to transport and store my mat (that is, I don't need any room for extras). I got this in a green leaf pattern, which I love. I use it with Gaiam's regular 1/4" thick yoga mat and the straps of the sling are long, but it works fine. Therefore, if you wanted to use it with a thicker mat, like 1/8", that would work too.』 『Our Yoga Mat Sling doubles as a yoga strap! A hands-free way to carry a yoga mat or most other fitness mats, it has Velcro closures for quick release and access. Pattern may vary. Yoga mat in picture is not included. 1.5"W x 6"L. Will hold a mat up to 5.5" in rolled diameter.』

Bally Total Fitness
Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Waste of Money) 『I bought this kit expecting a yoga workout, with the accessories to go with it. What I got was a "Yoga-Pilates" video that lasted about 15 minutes and I never even felt warmed up (it was not stated in any description for the product that it was Yoga and Pilates). Also, I'm 5'8" and the ball is too small for me. I was disappointed to find that this kit came with a VHS tape, who even uses VHS anymore? It certainly doesn't feel like I got my money's worth.』
(mel65471) 『Product was fine (yoga ball, Mat, Insta-pump for yoga Ball). The tape on the other hand.......WHO USES VHS ANYMORE? Very disappointed. Feel like sending back, but who wants to hassle with returning items? Not a happy customer.』
(Great Kit!) 『Based on the price and quality, this is a fantastic kit for someone beginning to use balance/stability/fitness balls. For this price, you're getting the ball, pump, mat, and a very basic instructional video. Most balls of this quality are priced higher than this for just the ball!
The ball itself is perfect for petite consumers - if you're over 5'5" or so, please get a 65 or 75 cm ball, depending on your height. The pump is kind of cheaply made, but it gets the job done and you're probably not going to use it more than a few times, because these balls tend to stay well-inflated. The mat is a typical yoga/pilates mat. It is a thin mat (1/8 of an inch), but I personally prefer my mats this way. Too thick and you can't do exercises properly. It is perfect for ball exercises.
As for the video, it is just a very basic introduction, geared toward the yoga end of things. I recommend also buying an in-depth instructional VHS/DVD that concentrates on the fitness ball topic in which you're most interested (weightloss, flexibility, pilates, yoga, etc).
Regardless of which product you buy, you're definitely making a great choice when buying a fitness ball!』
(A nice starter kit for a yoga/Pilates beginner) 『This is a good kit for getting started with yoga/Pilates. It includes some nice, quality equipment for a good value. The high-quality ball is rugged and easy to pump (the pump is included). The ball is 22 inches/55 cm, which you wouldn't know unless you read the actual box - the perfect size ball if you are between 4'8" and 5'5" or on the "petite" side. You also receive a nice, grippy yoga mat and a so-so instructional video. The video is short and the instructor is easy to follow, and after finishing it you feel like you've got a good grasp of at least a few of the "basics" of yoga/Pilates - terminology as well as actual poses. The video isn't the best quality, though. I would have preferred something longer, and in DVD format, but for the price, I really can't complain.
After I practiced with this set for a while at home, I felt ready to tackle a more advanced yoga/Pilates class at my gym. Overall, a good starter kit. My only beef is that if you're on the taller side, the ball is going to be way too small for you.』 『Pilates Yoga Kit Find a wide variety of Great Deals at drugstore.com, where you get 5% back and free shipping!』
